Abstract Severe accidental hypothermia can lead to cardiac arrest. The most efficient method of resuscitating and warming is by ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). While the convention is to use VA..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Over the past two decades, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used to support critical patients with cardiac and respiratory failure who fail to respond to conventional management...

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest in pregnancy is rare. Clinicians need to adapt management to the altered anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, and the well-being of two patients (mother and foetus)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a treatment for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), often due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the long-term impact of prehospital ECPR on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) describes the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) to restore blood circulation in patients during refractory cardiac arrest. So far, ECPR is not the..

Abstract Background and Objectives: The majority of cardiac surgical procedures are performed using cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia-induced cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest and reperfusion may lead to ischemia-reperfusion injury of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac arrest (CA) remains a major cause of death despite advancements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), post-resuscitation care, and international efforts to develop evidence-based guidelines. Effectively managing ventilation and oxygenation..

Abstract Introduction The primary aim was to describe the outcome, the compliance with inclusion criteria and the characteristics of patients who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perioperative cardiac arrest (POCA) is a catastrophic complication that requires immediate recognition and correction of the underlying cause to improve patient outcomes. While the hypoxia, hypovolemia, hydrogen ions (acidosis),..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a serious complication with low survival rate. The prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest in the general ward is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest is associated with high mortality rates and severe neurological impairments. One of the underlying mechanisms is global ischemia-reperfusion injury of the body, particularly the brain. Strategies..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac arrest is a hyper-acute condition with a high mortality that requires rapid diagnostics and treatment. As such, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a valuable tool in the assessment..
